Still gives google a lot of power to decide how the web will function in the future. That some websites don't work in Firefox is a symptom of exactly that problem
It's something about how the Gecko engine is built IIRC. I don't get all the details but TLDR Chromium is a lot easier to abstract into other programs as a plugin and engine and Gecko is harder.
the trouble isn't with Firefox, it's with those sites and the developers of that site that can't be botheted to do it properly and cross-browser - it's still a thing and a sane requirement.
